Title of review Total Connectivity
What are the strengths? Allows Internet connectivity to areas not covered by wireless Internet router, without miles of wiring. Very easy to install: plug one little gadget thingy into a power socket and hard-wire (supplied) to router (about as complex as plugging-in a kettle). Go to vicinity of where Internet connectivity is required, plug in other little gadget thingy. Job done, log in.
What are the weaknesses? Wife can now shop online while watching Emerdale Street and Coronation Farm, while I go to the pub; this a weakness?!
Summary As said earlier connectivity was very easy, for me. I already had wireless connectivity set-up through my router. So if you haven't set-up your laptop/PC for wireless connection life may be slightly more complex. In addition, the two little gadgets (they're each about the size of a plug-in air-freshner) apparently communicate with each other through the electrical wiring, so if your wiring is out of the ordinary this may also cause a problem or five.
Do you recommend this product? Yes
